Chapter 55

"Hey." Jenna greeted and followed Merlin inside. The room was not big, not even average, it was small with one double bed and a small table and chair in the corner. There was a glass jug on the table and a motel booklet and a map of the village.

Jenna took the seat on the chair and faced the bed, gesturing to Merlin to sit opposite to her.

"Hi." He said, sitting upright, giving her all the attention.

"Ervin was asleep, I am coming from his room."

"Yeah. It's good. I don't know how this is going to happen. How I can help him pull out of this pit?"

"Merlin you can't. You just have to be there for him. He will be okay, he need time and that's why we are here. So that he can heal."

"It so disgusting, whoever did this. I just— I wish I knew so I could get them. There would be a closure, who did it? Why did they do it? Anything. I can't even point a finger at anyone, there is just no one I know."
